I'm a 33 year old man from a very small town in Czech Republic and I'm a heavy smoker. Every night before bed, I go for a small walk to smoke my last cigarette of the day. Those who do this as well will understand when I say I love being alone outside at night. I just enjoy looking at the stars and otherwise misty clouds that cover the moon. I'm a bad singer, so this is also my opportunity to just be alone where no one can judge my little song. Sometimes I sing and sometimes I just hum. I like it, because it just makes a peaceful 'before bed' routine.
A few days ago was different. It was a little later than usual and I had just stepped outside for my nightly smoke walk, but the cold made me reconsider. So, I stayed by my door, huddled in my coat, and halfheartedly smoked my cigarette.
As I stood there, halfway through my cigarette, I heard something that caught my attention. It was a man's voice, singing a song. At first, I wasn't sure where it was coming from, but then I realized it was coming from somewhere nearby. I liked it, because I always do that too and I just felt some "me too bro" kind of way.
Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to check down the block to see if I could hear it better. As I got a little closer, I could make up the words and my heart dropped once I noticed that it was MY song. And not only that, I realized it came from the area where I usually start singing. Even though I always sing it, every night, and someone might've just liked it, I noped the hell out of there. I'm usually not a coward, but I finished my smoke inside that night.
I know I sound like a pussy, but it actually bothered me so much that I haven't gone for a before bed walk since. Last night when I was in bed, I was almost falling asleep when I heard it again. My song, sung by the same voice. But what's so chilling about this is that it was so much closer. Whoever this is, is he looking for me? Did he just like the little song and did he develop the same kind of routine? Or is it a little darker than I hope?
It's 10:30 AM as I write this and I haven't felt like this much of a coward in a long time. It just feels off in a way that I can't explain. The energy is way better now and I will gladly go outside, but the night has changed for me and I'm anxious for tonight.
